Link To Bible

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 59% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Gutes Plugin mit einem einzigen Problem: Es fehlt die Option, einzelne Beitragstypen auszuschließen, in denen ich keine Verlinkung möchte.

   It works! That is good, because it is the only one providing German Bibles. Suggestion: Add automatic bible-text inserts with formatting options to the block-editor.

   I installed this plugin this morning. Within an hour the speed of my site began to slow. Then I started having EVERY pingback that’s ever been put on my posts reissued as though done today. Next my site went down giving a 502 gateway error. Fifteen minutes later it came back up, but was with more pingbacks. I called my host and discovered that the plug-in was using 55-60% of the site memory! There were over 400 open connections to the server. I disabled the plugin and those numbers immediately began to drop. I removed the plugin, deleted the pingbacks, and logged out of my site. I logged back in and functionality is back up.
